SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 312,651, dated February24, 1885. Application filed April 19, 1884. (N0 model To all whom it mayconcern-.-

Be it known that we, JoHN W. OWEN and WILLIAM H. OWEN, residents ofOnarga, Iroquois county, Illinois, and ARTHUR U. Bos- WELL, of Fowler,in the county of Benton and State of Indiana, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Stoves; and We do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,which form a part of this specification, and in'whioh I Figure l is alongitudinal vertical sectional View of our improvedwood-stove, and Fig.2 is a crosssection of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both thefigures.

Our invention relates to that class of hori- :ltal stoves for burningwood in which a indicates the outer cylindrical casing of the stove,supported upon legs B, and having a door, 0, for feeding the fuel andfor emptying the ashes at one of the heads D, which heads may beornamented in any desirable manner. The upper side of the casing forms alongitudinal bulge, E, in the middle of which the stovepipe F opens, andwhich has, if desired, two or more or less apertures, G,

in which cooking-vessels maybe placed, and

side of the trough is fastened to the inside of the outer casing. Itwill be seen that in this manner the smoke from the ignited fuel in thefire-place of the stove will pass into the fiat flue at its opening inthe top of the stove, pass around the same, and pass into the stovepipe"at thetop of the stove, the drippings from the soot, which alwaysaccompany the smoke of burned wood. being collected in the trough at thetop of the stove, doing away with the unsightly drip-pots usuallyhungunder the pipes of a wood-stove. It will also be seen that a largeamount'of the heat will be utilized by passing the products ofcombustion around the stove, allowing them time to give off some oftheir heat to the air surroundingthe stove, and that, if desired, theheat of the same may be used for cooking purposes at the same time thatthey heat the room, and that the cooking-vessels will not be subjectedto the immediate flame of the fire, but will only be touched by theheated air and gases on their way to the stove-pipe. Ilaving thusdescribed our invention, we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patentof the United States The combination, in a horizontal stove, of an outercylindrical casing formed with a longitudinal bulge atits top,havingapertures for cooking-vessels and for the stove-pipe, with an innercasing opening at the top of the stove into the fire-place, passingaround the inside of the outer casing parallel to the same, and

formed into a longitudinal soot and drip re- JOHN W. OWVEN. WILLIAM H.-OWEN. ARTHUR O. BOSWELL.
